After hearing that they could take a break, several professional players immediately sat down quietly.
One of them was so sleepy that he took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid, and sprinkled some water on his face.
After wiping his face, he sighed: “When will this day end? I dare not close my eyes now, for fear that wild monsters will appear the next moment.”
The female professional player sitting next to him drank a sip of water silently: “Hold on, it’s not far away, and we will probably reach there at noon tomorrow.”
The complaining man didn’t say anything but turned his head to look at the ordinary residents huddled together not far away. They didn’t want to lead them, but they followed them.
Because they insisted on following, the number of wild monsters refreshed every day was very large.
“Why don’t these people listen to us and other professional teams? We said that if more people follow, there will be more wild monsters.”
The woman was silent. She was very tired now and didn’t even bother to blame others.
A young man was indignant: “It’s because no one is willing to lead them. The ones we lead are either acquaintances or paid a lot of money. This group of people is no good. They are unwilling to give a penny but still follow us stubbornly because they saw that our captain will not do anything bad to them.”
Their captain was a simple and honest man. He was a good man before the doomsday. He usually has a good temper. In the early stage of the team, the rewards given were balanced, and based on personal efforts. Although he was simple and honest, he had his way of dealing with the world.
Because of this, many of them were willing to follow their captain.
When they set out, this group of ordinary people knew their captain’s personality, so they followed him.
However, even though their captain had a good temper, his face was not good at that time, and he just treated these people coldly.
After resting for fifteen minutes, their captain stood up and asked everyone to follow.
Even if they were exhausted, they had to hurry. The shorter the time, the fewer wild monsters they would encounter. If they dragged their time, there would only be a batch of wild monsters to greet them.
Maybe they were fast enough, they met a batch of wild monsters after two hours.
But looking at the huge number of wild monsters, the professional players felt very tired just by looking at them.
*
The professional players fought with the wild monsters, and the group of ordinary people who followed them silently ran to the protected ordinary residents.
And these people glared at these people, wanting to curse, but afraid of alarming the wild monsters.
With so many wild monsters, there will always be a few that will bypass the professional players to attack them.
At this time, young men and women stood up and took up weapons to deal with the wild monsters.
One of the women was just an ordinary resident, but she was not afraid of these wild monsters at all. She picked up a machete and hit the fox-like wild monster running towards her.
She was quite strong, and this blow knocked the wild monster to the side, which was also the reason why this type of wild monster was light in shape.
Behind the woman stood her two younger brothers and sisters, both of whom were still young. Their parents were no longer there, and she had to stand up to protect them.
The group of ordinary people who were seeking protection didn’t dare to deal with the monsters at all. When they saw a few monsters coming, a young man with blue hair screamed in fear, attracting the glares of professional players.
However, the screaming man was not aware of it at all, and he jumped up to squeeze into the crowd, trying to squeeze to the innermost.
Some people had a bad temper. Even if they had not opened their profession, they looked like they were not easy to mess up with. He pushed the unruly young man hard: “What the hell are you squeezing? Get out of my way!”
With the bad-tempered man taking the lead, other ordinary residents also stretched out their hands to push away the ordinary people who were close to them for protection.
Not only did these people not protect themselves, but they also caused trouble for them.
The blue-haired man who was pushed away at the beginning was pushed to the side of the woman who was protecting her younger brother and sister. The woman was dealing with the monsters. The blue-haired man got up in a panic and saw a monster jumping in front of him.
Subconsciously, he pulled a child and threw him in front, wanting the monster to attack the child first.
The little girl’s face turned pale, “Sister!”
When the woman saw her sister was suddenly pushed out, she quickly attacked the monster with a machete. She took the opportunity to help her sister up: “Hurry up.”
Although the girl was frightened, she still climbed up swiftly and did not cause trouble to her sister.
“Sister.” The woman’s brother ran over and grabbed her sister’s hand and brought her back to the crowd.
The woman looked at the blue-haired man with sharp eyes, but she didn’t have time to teach this man a lesson now. She had to deal with the monster first.
The monsters they encountered were all brown iron level, which was much easier to deal with than bronze monsters.
The woman fought with the monster for a long time and drank a bottle of potion to replenish her blood before killing it.
For such a tough ordinary resident, others envied her strength. They don’t know how powerful she would be if she could start a career.
It took more than half an hour to finally solve all the monsters. Now everyone was sweating because of dealing with the monsters.
After the woman dealt with the wild monster, she immediately turned around to look for the blue-haired man. If he dared to push her sister out to block the wild monster, she would not be able to calm down without a few slashes.
The younger sister pulled her sister’s clothes: “Sister, the bad guy ran over there.”
The sister pointed in a direction.
The woman touched her sister’s head: “Stand with your brother, sister will teach the bad guy a lesson.”
After that, she held a knife and went to find the blue-haired man aggressively. Because the other party’s hair color was too conspicuous, it didn’t take long to find him hiding in the crowd.
Seeing her holding a knife, the people around her made their way unconsciously, and the woman rushed to the blue-haired man aggressively.
The blue-haired man was scared to death and was pulled out of the crowd by the woman like a little chicken.
The young man was still pulling and shouting: “What are you doing! Killing people!”
And the people watching nearby didn’t dare to step forward.
The captain walked out of the crowd: “What’s going on?”
Although he was unhappy with these ordinary people who were pestering them, he still had to come and see what was going on when he heard about the murder.
The woman let go of the man, but the knife was on his neck: “This man pushed my sister in front of the wild monster when I was dealing with it. Fortunately, I blocked it quickly, otherwise my sister would have been attacked by the wild monster.”
The captain frowned deeply when he heard this. He knew that this woman was an ordinary resident, but she dared to pick up a knife and fight the wild monster desperately. Everyone on their team admired her, but it was a pity that she didn’t start her career.
“You push the child out to block the wild monster, then don’t follow us. Leave immediately!”
When the captain said this, the group of ordinary people who were seeking protection were unhappy.
“That was his own doing, so if you want to chase him away, chase him away alone.”
“That’s right, what does it have to do with us?”
A team member standing next to the captain couldn’t help it: “You are the same as him, you are all the same! Don’t think we didn’t see you push others to face wild monsters and run into the crowd yourself!”
This resonated with the team: “That’s right, all of you get out of here. It’s fine if you don’t help us, but you also make trouble for us!”
The group of people who were protecting us were also angry: “How can we help? We are just ordinary people, we are not like you who have supernatural powers. What’s wrong with protecting us!”
This made the ordinary residents who paid money to form a team look down on them: “Enough! We are also ordinary people, but we paid money and dealt with the wild monsters that came towards us. Don’t think we are like you!”
